"This is the comprehensive guide to all things Game of Thrones and beyond. From the prehistory to the coming of the First Men, through the reign of the Targaryen kings and Robert's Rebellion, this guide--co-written by George R.R. Martin and the immensely knowledgeable founders and keepers of the www.westeros.org site--will tell series readers old and new all they might want to know about the history and culture of Westeros and the lands beyond the Narrow Sea--a tapestry of all new history that George has invented solely for this volume"--
This is a "history" book of the fictional world of A Song of Ice and Fire. It's written as if it were the work of a maester of the Citadel. I'm a big fan of George Martin's series and I think this is a very nice book, that allows to look deeper inside the world of my favourite fantasy saga. But it's only for true fans.
I was expecting more for the book, I liked illustrations and some stories but others were way too long for me. I guess not every Valyrian King was as interesting as Aegon. Not every kingdom as interesting as the North.
But people with more patience will surely like this more than me.
